💊 Egészség

Diagnostic Medical Sonographers typically work in hospitals and clinics, often performing the diagnostic imaging in a dimly lit room to make it easier to see the images. Sometimes the Sonographer goes to the patient’s bedside in a hospital setting to perform the imaging. They work with both patients and physicians. With patients, they aim to make them feel comfortable, inform them on the procedure and work with them to create clear images. With physicians, they provide the images and a summary of their findings to give them the images they need to make a diagnosis. There are specialties that focus on particular body parts or types of patients, including abdominal, cardiac, pediatric, and vascular Sonographers.
